* In the ''Franchise/StarTrekExpandedUniverse'', Montgomery Scott dealt with the KobayashiMaru scenario by attempting a {{technobabble}} trick that worked on paper and therefore apparently so within the simulator, but not in reality. The computer retaliated by spawning more Klingon warships than existed in the entire Empire at the time.

'''0''', on the other hand, would rather just knock over the board and all of the pieces on it. When the T'Kon were about to beat his game, '''0''' caused their sun to go supernova purely out of spite.
